Four years and two days ago I started this blog on a whim to share some photos of the things I see and imagine. I had no idea that it would last this long, but as long as I continue seeing things that capture the imagination I will keep on posting blogs about the magicContinue reading “1500 Posts and Still Seeing Things”

Shadows of Reflection
Once again direct light and reflected light cast two different shadows on the wall of the same object on the buffet cabinet. This time it’s the shadows of Madam Owl in her Halloween best with a pumpkin candle by her foot and the nearby gourd laughing merrily at the sight. What a hoot! #shadows #reflectionContinue reading “Shadows of Reflection”
Getting Downy
We recently added this seed cylinder from Wild Birds Unlimited to our collection of birdfeeders. The first day, a chickadee checked it out and then went to one of the other feeders. A titmouse and a wren or two were spotted over the next couple of days, apparently giving it mixed reviews. Then this downyContinue reading “Getting Downy”
Eye of the Bee-holder
It was the color and beauty of the flowers that caught my eye; then I noticed the bee which was admiring the same flowers but perhaps for a different reason. #flowers #bee #eye #colors #beauty
Be It Ever So Humble
At least 10 children from two different families grew up in this midwestern log house in times past near Galena, Illinois. Though simple and humble, it was home and provided what was needed for survival: shelter from wind, rain, and cold. Built before electricity and power tools existed, ax marks on its rough hewn logsContinue reading “Be It Ever So Humble”
Afterglow
After a recent, refreshing rain, the setting sun turned the sky into a glowing gold more precious than any metal that can bought or sold. #rain #sunset #gold #glow
Blooms and Rain
Distant, autumn-blooming trees were glorified by the background gloom of an approaching storm. A short time later it began to rain. Both the blossoms and the rain were gratefully welcomed. They were more examples of the many things seen every day that make me say, “Oh, wow!” #blooms #autumn #rain #storm #wow
Jigsaw Puzzle, Anyone?
We recently visited the Weatherby Cranberry Company bogs in Wisconsin. What a sight it was with hordes of cranberries floating within retaining barriers. We got to sample some fresh berries straight from the plant in plots that had not yet been flooded; they tasted like tart, sour apples, and I couldn’t resist consuming a fewContinue reading “Jigsaw Puzzle, Anyone?”
Thirteen Lucky Days
We just got back from Costco with, among other things, four bags of candy. Yes, we do get that many trick-or-treaters, and we have a great time at the end of our driveway passing the goodies to the little hobgoblins. Thirteen more days to go. Great fun, good times, lucky us! #halloween #costco #hobgoblins #trickortreatContinue reading “Thirteen Lucky Days”
Day Owl
A rarely seen feathered friend greeted us during a recent morning walk. While we frequently hear the owls, sometimes a year or more will pass between sightings. I wondered why this one was up so “late” since nighttime is their active time. Perhaps it was just one of those “day owls” who like staying upContinue reading “Day Owl”
